It was said that after Mangzhong, summer would begin, all flowers would wither, and the Flower Deity would step down, requiring a send-off. This custom was particularly popular among young ladies. Everyone in the Grand View Garden would wake up early. The girls would weave chariots and horses from flower petals and willow branches, or create banners and standards from silk brocade and fine gauze, tying them with colorful threads. These decorations were hung on every tree and branch. The garden was filled with fluttering ribbons and blooming flowers. The girls themselves were so beautifully adorned that they outshone the flowers, making even the orioles and swallows feel ashamed. It was a scene beyond description." —Dream of the Red Chamber, Chapter 27 - - - It is as if the vibrant hues and blooming beauty, your youthful infatuation, and the profound feelings of autumn are all reflections of your own worthiness. Sometimes, we yearn for a subtle hint. Sometimes, that elusive connection we cannot quite articulate is simply the fate we are unwilling to acknowledge. Let us shake the oracle container, and entrust everything to the whims of chance. Your belief in the existence of a feeling is just as valid as your belief in its absence. - - - Content: Tang and Song Dynasty Poems and New Interpretations of Oracle Sayings Paper: Glassine paper Technique: Foil stamping Dimensions: 50 X 150 mm Packaging: Comes with imported Japanese OPP transparent bag, please refer to one of the images.
